Dangerous Nation by Robert Kagan
Most Americans believe the United States had been an isolationist power until the twentieth century. This is wrong. In a riveting and brilliantly revisionist work of history, Robert Kagan, bestselling author of Of Paradise and Power, shows how Americans have in fact steadily been increasing their global power and influence from the beginning. Driven by commercial, territorial, and idealistic ambitions, the United States has always perceived itself, and been seen by other nations, as an international force. This is a book of great importance to our understanding of our nation's history and its role in the global community.
Robert Kagan is a columnist for the Washington Post and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. From 1984 until 1988, he worked for the US State Department. With his wife and children, he resides in Virginia.
